Streetcars (Trams) in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA 2018
The Cincinnati Bell Connector, previously known as the Cincinnati Streetcar, is a streetcar system in Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. The system opened to passengers on September 9, 2016. The streetcar operates on a 3.6-mile (5.8 km) loop from The Banks, Great American Ball Park, and Smale Riverfront Park through Downtown Cincinnati and north to Findlay Market in the northern edge of the Over-the-Rhine neighborhood. Future extensions have been proposed to the Uptown area, home to the University of Cincinnati, the regional hospitals, and the Cincinnati Zoo; and to Northern Kentucky.
The project faced opposition on several occasions after being first proposed in 2007. Challenges included ballot initiatives to stop the project in 2009 and 2011, opposition from members of Cincinnati City Council, Governor John Kasich, and Mayor John Cranley (elected in 2013). However, both of the anti-rail ballot initiatives were rejected by voters, and a pro-streetcar majority was elected to City Council in 2011, allowing the project to move forward. Naming rights to the system were purchased by Cincinnati Bell in a $3.4 million, 10-year deal in August 2016. ~Wikipedia

Cincinnati streetcar blockages just getting worse, data show
After 18 months of operation, accounts are mixed about how the city is working to make sure the tracks are clear. WCPO dug into raw track blockage data compiled by the Southwest Ohio Regional Transit Authority. While the city owns the streetcar, the region-wide transit agency oversees operations on the city's behalf. Our review found that incidents resulting in the streetcar stalling for a vehicle in its way are trending up this year despite enforcement and prevention efforts from both the city and the transit agency.

Who will control Cincinnati's streetcar?
City Council got an update Tuesday on some lingering proposals to revise the streetcar's operating procedures, after ridership and revenue continue to lag behind projections. Among those ideas still being considered: making the streetcar free and terminating or renegotiating the streetcar's management contract with the transit authority.
Kansas City packs in streetcar riders, so why can't Cincinnati?
Despite numerous similarities, Kansas City voters recently decided to more than double their streetcar’s footprint while Cincinnati’s streetcar has fumbled with mismanagement from week one, is in the awkward process of an expensive reorganization, and remains the subject of severe public scrutiny and -- in some lingering cases -- outrage.

Cincinnati Union Terminal & Fate of Some US Train Stations
Cincinnati Union Terminal opened in 1933 as a busy regional rail hub. She has stood the test of time transitioning from a bustling train station to a vibrant and busy center of learning as home to Cincinnati Museum Center. Other train stations and gems of architecture around the nation have not been so lucky.

I took a ride on the Cincinnati Streetcar on a overcast summer afternoon. I rode from Washington Park to Liberty and Race via The Banks. The battery only lasted until after the Findlay Market stop.
Cincinnati, Ohio
Cincinnati, Ohio
The Queen City’s transformation is most evident in its Over-the-Rhine district, first settled by German immigrants in the 19th century. Once a dodgy neighborhood, it has renovated buildings and warehouses that are now apartments and offices for tech companies. On Vine Street, young brands like interiors shop Elm & Iron sit alongside Cincinnati institutions like Holtman’s Donuts. There are larger changes throughout the city: the new Cincinnati Bell Connector streetcar links the northern fringes of OTR with downtown and the Ohio River, and Ziegler Park, with a deepwater pool and redesigned public spaces, will be unveiled this spring, followed by the reopening of the city’s historic Music Hall and the inaugural Blink Cincinnati light and art festival in October. Locals zip across state lines on a daily basis, and the best new place to bed down is actually a 10-minute drive across the river in Covington, Kentucky. The boutique Hotel Covingtonoccupies the former headquarters of Coppin’s Department Store, and the original 1907 architecture serves its new purpose beautifully: upon entering, you get a sweeping view of reception, the lobby, and the bar with its 20-foot ceilings, thanks to a sloping floor originally designed to let shoppers see the entire department store when they walked through its Madison Avenue doors. Filmmakers are also increasingly drawn to Cincinnati, thanks to its Art Deco buildings and its tax incentives. Off-camera, Nicole Kidman, Colin Farrell, and Ellen Page have all been spotted dining in hot spots like Boca and Sotto and checking in to the art-filled 21C Museum Hotel. —Aoife O’Riordain

Many of the people impacted by Sunday's flooding are those who will be hardest-pressed to find enough money to replace or repair their ruined belongings, so community members are donating their time and effort to help clean up after the torrential storm.
